That is fantastic! I love the pictures and what a great turnout. Congradulations on your win Mr. Albright and all those who showed that Hudsons are not just good looking cars they are fast too!::D

What I like is Bill drag racing a convertible, a very expensive car. I love the attitude!

Great story and pictures Bill. Looks like it was a lot of fun! BTW, what were you running in the '46 truck?

The pale yellow step down is a coupe. It had the top cut off and a convertible cowl put on. I'm sure Mr. Albright would have corrected on this but he just didn't see the post yet.;)

That Gold convertible is striking in person and the engine compartment is really nice too. I don't know who did the wood graining but it looks 'wet' it was soo smooth. Nice.:)

Bill,
That was real nice of you to take some of your sharp Hudson's out to the Antique Drags....Its also nice to see the 'need for speed' never completely goes away.....

The Gold Conv That Won The Best 32 To 54 Was The Ugly White Rusty Olds Powered One That I Advertised Last May And Decided Not To Punish Anyone With It So We Did It In Less Than A Year. Glad I Kept It Price Now,p Retty Steep Lol Bill A.

Bill-

Nice to see you on Sunday. Below are a few more pictures. Glad to hear you made my dad pay for his own gas. I am still giving him a hard time about that first round red light!

See you soon.
